Surprised
Reviewed: 04-17-21
I was surprised by the books balance of confidence, humility, and philosophical objectivity. The idea that participants and their biases impact on the market and the market’s impact on the participants. Difficult to follow because of the philosophical depths taken to come to his conclusions. The big takeaway for me is that an approach to markets is best served by admitting limitations of any approach which allows for changing ones approach when the market changes.

While Uhtred might have regained his family’s fortress, it seems a peaceful life is not to be - as he is under threat from both an old enemy and a new foe. The old enemy comes from Wessex, where a dynastic struggle will determine who will be the next king. And the new foe is Sköll, a Norseman, whose ambition is to be king of Northumbria and who leads a frightening army of wolf-warriors, men who fight half-crazed in the belief they are indeed wolves. Uhtred, believing he is cursed, must fend off one enemy while he tries to destroy the other.

Information about stocks go back over 50 years. Even still the principles are shining through throughout this book. The additional commentary helps a great deal, too.
It is surprisingly encouraging. I find myself wanting to do homework with the belief that there is a future in investing if done with sound principles guiding you. I enjoyed this a great deal.

Story
From the day it was stolen from me, I dreamed of recapturing Bebbanburg. The great fort had been built on a rock that was almost an island. It was massive; it could be approached only on land by a single narrow track; and it was mine. Britain is in a state of uneasy peace. Northumbria's Viking ruler, Sigtryggr, and Mercia's Saxon queen, Aethelflaed, have agreed to a truce. And so England's greatest warrior, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, at last has the chance to take back the home his traitorous uncle stole from him so many years ago.

Enjoyed this book as much as I have the others in this series. The story flows well and it's a nice mix of the older characters with new ones. Seemed to have fewer battle scenes but the story held my attention throughout. Once more, I am left wanting another book in the series.

His first book that I listened to was The Power of Habit. It was also read by Mike Chamberlain. Both are excellent. This one did not disappoint. Rather it lived up to the hype created by the first book. Very applicable and I plan to listen a few times.
